Back from Sydney and glad to be back in Melbourne!

Yes, you've probably noticed from the lack of postings over the last few days, I have been away. This time, our little family flew to Sydney to visit close friends and check out the Lord of the Rings Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum. Catching up with friends was great, but the LOTR was a bit of a fizzer because of my still very much sprained ankle (Sunday night basketball...) and the fact that is was packed! Try pushing a baby-stroller through a mob of wide-eyed obsessed LOTR fans! Anyway we made it and I'm glad to be back on board.

The Mr.Gadget team functioned so well without me that I only received one phone call while I was away and that was just to see what type of milk we buy for the staff! Hmmm...

Anyways, if you're looking for a nice place to stay in Sydney try the Hyde Park Plaza Suites on College Street. Great views of inside Sydney, lovely little restaurant and best of all free WiFi!! We were on the 15th floor and there were many unsecured networks. Thank you to those people, however I always encourage anyone with a wireless network to enable security on it!

Here's a Sydney Summer Night in February, taken with my EOS300D without a tripod!:
